Get ready to embrace the new Thunderbird shoes for women, redesigned with beauty and meaning by Minneapolis-based Native American designer, mentor, and educator, Lucie Skjefte. As a citizen of the Red Lake Nation, Lucie's vivid beading design for this shoe collection pays tribute to her Anishinaabe heritage and her son, Animikii, whose name means 'Thunderbird' in Ojibwemowin. Every time you buy a pair, a lifetime product royalty will be directly paid to Lucie for her original design. In honor of this collection, Minnetonka is also donating to the Mni Sota Fund, an urban Native CDFI chosen by Lucie, which helps Native Americans in Minnesota obtain training and capital for home - ownership and entrepreneurship. These shoes feature a suede or smooth leather upper, a hand - beaded Thunderbird design, a suede or leather lace, a padded insole, a heel cup, a rubber sole, a Minnetonka icon charm, and a Minnetonka signature stitch on the heel. They are imported and come in a stylish grey color.

How to use: Just slip your feet into these Minnetonka Thunderbird shoes and lace them up for a secure fit. They're great for daily wear, whether you're going for a walk in the park or running errands. Note: Avoid wearing them in extremely wet conditions as the suede or leather may get damaged. Maintenance: Use a soft brush to clean off dust and dirt regularly. If there are stains on the leather, you can use a mild leather cleaner. For the beaded parts, be gentle when cleaning to avoid loosening the beads. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep them in good condition.
